However, I do agree that "chavs" are a major "problem". There are areas in this country where people are "terrorised" by young... "individuals". However, the problem lies in the fact that we're too "politically correct" to do anything about it.
Where my nan lives, it sed to be nice and peaceful, now its overun with chavs. She wants to move house but no one will buy hers because of the chav problem.

RE: OBEs/Knighthoods and the like
Again, back onto the original topic. I think Bono deserves a knighthood especially when you compare him to some people who have OBEs and MBEs in the last few years. i mean giving them to the england cricket team after they won the ashes back for the first time in like 18 years was a bit of a joke. Even though i am an australian i just cant understand how they would justify that. And now the england team have given in straight back to the australians
